Categories     Cake     Citrus     Dessert     Bake

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
8 Tbs. (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room
temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 tsp. lemon oil
4 whole eggs plus 2 egg yolks
1 cup buttermilk
For the glaze:
1/4 cup water
1/4 tsp. lemon oil
1/3 cup sugar
1 Tbs. rum
Confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 325ºF. Grease and flour a daisy cake pan. Over a sheet of parchment paper, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, beat the butter on medium-high speed until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add the sugar, beating until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and lemon oil. Add the eggs and yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce the speed to low and fold in the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk and beginning and ending with the flour, beating until smooth and combined. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Set the rack over a sheet of waxed paper, invert the pan onto the rack and lift off the pan. Meanwhile, make the glaze: In a small bowl, stir together the water, lemon oil, sugar and rum until the sugar dissolves. Brush the warm cake with the glaze. Let the cake cool completely before serving. Just before serving, dust the cake lightly with confectioners' sugar. Serves 8. Williams-Sonoma Kitchen.

This cake is a bit dry. I think I might have baked it for too long.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise evenly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good.

This cake is perfect for any occasion. It's simple enough for a weeknight dessert, but it's also elegant enough for a special occasion.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but this cake was surprisingly good. The lemon flavor was subtle and not overpowering.
